Temporary

I was reading Reuters and came across an article which reads that two Chinese individuals from NYC have sued CNN for $1.3 Billion ($1/Chinese in China). The suit came after Jack Cafferty made comments which Chinese public thought were offending, wrong, and made Chinese community look bad. The complete article is below in quotes. Now my question is, I don't know how many times Sikhs have been slandered in news/media across the world but we have mere done anything but 'yell'. How come Sikhs don't use or take such judicial steps, so that something which happened in the past never happens in the future????

What would the tim be according to GMT -5??

Wedding rings are not unfair at all, b/c you are supposed to be following BSI standards, thus gloves serving as barier b/w pt and mp... I just wanted to mention this before you guys go on mobilizing and at the end are told, "duh, shouldn't you be wearing gloves???" No need to remove the ring, unless ofcourse you got a 'phat' one or don't wear gloves...lol I have no idea what BMI standards are - we don't use that term in the UK! But if your say palpating an abdomen, performing a peripheral neuro exam or something like that, no one ever wears gloves. Only for invasive procudures or checking wound healing etc would one don gloves. Hence, the blanket ban on kareh but allowing of wedding bands IS unfair. But again, I don't particularly mind it because if it protects patients then it is justified in my opinion Is that seriously true? LOL, Here is US before you touch a patient you put on gloves, but there are exceptions such taking vitals etc. Veer Ji, that's a great and helpful e-mail! I do the same - in surgery i just pop my kara in my back pocket. it's just really annoying when you forget, and sit down really hard on a hard stool. not a lot of fun :S lol I think the bare-below elbows policy has some merit but the BMA wrote an article saying it could potentially cost lives, because if doctors can't acurately count the pulse rate or resp rate and we guess, it could potentially impact on patient care. they asked 100 doctors to guess someone's pulse without a watch and only 3% got it right. of course, i think the BMA was just moaning about it because in practise most rooms have a clock and most A&E departments would have a pulse oximiter handy. just thought i'd share this, that's all! Tell that AMA in US... no wonder ppl come to US for best medical care...lol

By medical examination he meant that they'd hav been stripped naked and checked if they were circumcised, and he's pointing on the fact that they nihang was infact a muslim and that makes him a pakistani. Lies upon lies. Didn't we have muslims in India? That was so bull, their way of making lies.. Sikhs terrorists and what not.. Thanks for that, I was actually looking for that quote on Hitler's memoir...lol

Our intent is to foster a spirit of lifelong learning and a dedication to Gurmat. By participating in various interactive workshops, debates, open discussions and service projects, we will explore several avenues of the Sikh religion and work to define the ideal lifestyle of a Gursikh. Honoring the 300th anniversary of Gurgaddi to Guru Granth Sahib, we shall focus upon the universal message contained in our Scriptures and highlight its unique features. At the heart of this year’s experience will be to provide an environment that supports the learning of Gurmat and helps to live in accordance with the guidelines laid down by our Gurus. In addition, we will explore the “burning questions” of the youth and discuss how important it is to understand the role of Khalsa Panth. With your active participation, we hope to achieve these goals and explore the many facets of the Sikh Religion. This is a humble attempt to create a Sikh environment during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend and to provide a glimpse of the Sikh way of life in the hope that this may be continued after the retreat is concluded.

Veer, my cousin just went to india and YES, he wore a khalistan t-shirt and had it on when he landed in india. I spoke with him, he said ppl were looking at him but they didn't say anything to him :D (lol) He has a laissez-faire passport issued from UN... :D

Veer, I'm in EM and i would suggest, please take off your kara and whenever you are allowed to put it back on do ardas and put it back on. I work in emergency medicine and on my calls, i take off my kara, mundri (lol), simrana. Its for something we call BSI in emergency medicine in US (don;t know about uk), however i keep my kirpan on as its under my clothes. Hope it helps, and its for your and wards safety as there and standards in medicine, and i always tell everyone to follow them. Please do obligue. Thank you. WJKK, WJKF!!

Sangat Jio, At first, I'm sorry as the whole gurbani should be our favorite but there are some shabads that we like to read, recite, or listen to a lot more often. Please post you favorite here, it would be great if you can post it in Gurmukhi, Punjabi, and English also. An audio recording if you have or know of link to one would also be great. NOTE: Please NO BRAVO's, Just post the Shabad, no praising, matha taking etc.

wow.. but at first i thought it was the MEAT all over again.. lol [[was going to gurughar but decided to not to go.. i'm so "neech"... lol]]

why not mix it with lassi, Coca-Lassi..lol

There are somethings that don't make sense, such as brar says that "medical examiner confirms that they are pakistani", seriously, I would love to learn from indian me's the technique of identisying nationality by examining the body...and by looking at the geographic area, punjab to pakistan is like new york to new jersey, and having the ability to determine so would probably make me the best me... ever Seriously, lies, lies, and more lies... seems like they were and still are following the Nazi propaganda, "Make the lie big, make it simple, repeat it, repeat it, and repeat it again, eventually people will believe it." - A. Hitler, Mein Kampf Chapter 10

its second :2:

Fateh to all singhs and happy "khalsai" birthday... :HP:
